Pre-Game Talk: KIngs @ Leafs - Tuesday Nov 5, 2019

[PromisedLand]

2 points is all I care about at this point.

Would be nice not to see floaters but I guess am gonna keep my expectations in check.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

be nice to see a win but a loss is okay too.

Pretty sure that's our team motto this year!

 

[CanadasTeam]

First Ovi, now Doughty.

FFS this team is getting called out and dunked on. Lol.

How much bulletin board material does this team need before they finally get their head out of their ass?

Until something changes, I'll continue to welcome every cup champs comments about the current Leafs play.

What about all this talk "this is our time!"?

 

[Martin Skoula]

I'm not sure Doughty is the guy to be criticizing players for taking overpaid contracts and failing to deliver as soon as they kick in.

Doughty is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and a two-time Stanley Cup champion, he can say whatever the hell he wants and gets a pass.

Until they get their own cup, the Leafs can put up or shut up.

He got his money and gave up trying. I don't care what he's won, that's a loser attitude. Acting like a winner when the going is good and sulking and blaming others the second things get tough is exactly the kind of thing wrong with this team.

 

[Canadian Finn]

right. because you don't want players to get paid for what they have achieved, rather, what they might achieve in the future.

Would you want to trade rosters with the Kings going forward? It's full of proven winners on contracts that paid them for what they achieved, sounds great no?

 

[Canadian Finn]

do we get their success with that trade?

because if that meant we actually won something, anything, then yes I would - in a heartbeat.

 

[DarkKnight]

I think it really shows a lack of respect the way opposing players are openly critiquing our team...don’t recall that before.

what does that tell you about our team?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

what does that tell you about our team?

That we have a lousy coach who openly supports opposing players doing so

oh geez, I must have misread the quotes. I could have swore Ovi and Doughty said something about our players, not the coach.

I need to put on my Millzedder glasses and re-read those quotes.

Lol, this!

It hilarious how everything has to lead back to a critique of the coach. It sure isn’t compelling.

Even Babcock himself said he took it as a shot against him because he was supposed to be the guy organizing anything. That's not really what I said though, so maybe just start by re-reading my post?

Lowered exxxpectaaations...

 

[ULF_55]

No one fears them.

But that's okay.

I'm not the best fisherman out there, but I know if you continually keep presenting bait, sooner or later you'll get something to bite, the media are like that.

I haven't heard the Doughty comments, but I genuinely believe Ovi's comments contained no malice, just words of wisdom.

 

[rumman]

yup, it's Babcocks fault.........again.

Doughty didn't say anything bad either. Just said if you want to win a cup everyone has to chip in. Offensive guys are gonna have to help on D and defensive guys are gonna have to chip in on offence.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Yeah, seems like he does a lot of things wrong. Probably why most people are sick of him. At least the players seemed to stand up for themselves

sorry, I forgot to add the to my post.

 

[Budz22]

A hockey game in southern California used to be a physical game. I don't think that's a thing any longer.

Especially when they’re playing in Toronto tomorrow.
